A childhood walk on Google Streets

Posted by Anne on June 30, 2010

I recently stumbled upon a very personal project on Ze Frank. I invite you all to do this little exercise. It’s useful for the memory, the heart and also for the ones around you.

It goes like this:

Think of a path it was known to you as a child. Your way to school, to your grandparents’ house, to the bakery.

Look it up on Google Street View or just picture it in your mind.

Write down any kind of memory or feeling it brings you. Then, take a photo of it and there you go with your new piece of old personal history which may at some point inspire someone.

And that is more or less like a very cool contribution to the world.

What’s cooler than a Storm Trooper? A Storm Trooper wearing Viktor&Rolf

Posted by Anne on June 16, 2010

Those of you who have a Star Wars t-shirt, please raise your hand.

Darth Vader and the other space people are so popular and cool that everybody wants to wear them.

But what if Darth Vader becomes “cool”. Will he still be that cool? You know what I mean?

Star Wars fashion got a whole new meaning now.

For the little Japanese in all of us

I can only guess that Eric Fischer thought of this when he designed the following maps. The red dots show the most popular photo spots among tourists. The blue ones are the popular photo spots for locals. The yellow ones are undetermined.

The author used the GPS information of images on Flickr, combined with the home city of the user taking a certain photo.

Now sit back and make your holiday itinerary, the summer vacation is so close.

Super Hits

Posted by Anne on May 10, 2010

We got tagged by BTO on Friday evening and that made our brains go back in the memory storage room, looking for the most horrible special songs which made us dance and tap our fingers on the tables of every outing in our adolescence or youth.

There would have been many to be posted, but we made a short selection here. Kind of like a mixtape.








Since we got the ball, we pass it on to you under the tag of TV series of my youth. We start with the Dallas Intro:

Asteptam acum super hits din serialele tineretilor de la Oana, Exarhu, Monica, Mintea de (consumat) ceai, Novac si lista ramane deschisa pentru cei care vor s-o completeze :D .

Going from 8 to 0 on May Day

Posted by Anne on April 30, 2010

It all starts back in 1886 in the U.S. when several hundred thousand workers won the right to work only 8 h/day for the same pay check.

Nowadays, for the 1st of May we work 0 h/day. Sometimes, if it’s on a Tuesday, we don’t work on Monday either.

So it took about 130 years to go from 8 to 0, how long do you think it will take to go from 1 day to 1 week?

FRIENDSbook 2010

Posted by Anne on April 26, 2010

We slept on the photos from the party for a while and let them bake with likes, tags and comments. Today we chose 7×7 of the most popular photos and prepared the long awaited FRIENDSbook. They were chosen both from the photos taken by us and the ones taken by our friends during the live-pic-event.

Enjoy and keep on liking, tagging and commenting on our Facebook group!

Hands up for Quentin again

Posted by Anne on April 23, 2010

For all those Tarantino fans out there, here’s a reference manual about his badass characters, foot fetish and racial slur.

Doesn’t it make you wanna go home and play some Pulp Fiction, then some 4 Rooms, then some Kill Bill, then some Reservoir Dogs, then start all over again?

7 years of FRIENDS party

Posted by Anne on April 12, 2010

Friday night we had this big party with friends and friends of FRIENDS and we toasted for the 7th anniversary of our dear agency.

The event was broadcasted live through the photos uploaded in real time on our Facebook group – friends of FRIENDS.

You can still tag, comment and like or unlike them there and according to the feedback, some of them will be enclosed in the FRIENDSBOOK 2010.

For those of you who weren’t there or for those who wish to see it again, here’s the photo sum up of the agency’s past year, 2009.

Ingenious basterds

Since April Fool’s Day is gone and there’s no spoiler alert danger for this year any longer, we can all relax and lay back. There’s no such thing as butterfly attacks and no human was harmed during the shooting for the following viral video:

p.s: who else played a good prank on his friends yesterday?
